| Minamata heute ° In Minamata gibt es kein Minamata. Es gibt Lawson und Pachinkohallen, wie in anderen japanischen Städten auch. Die Katastrophe ist ein Stigma, das abgelegt werden soll. Minamata nennt sich jetzt ecological town und trennt den Müll in mehr als 20 verschiedene Sorten. Die kontaminierte Bucht ist zu einem Bambuspark gestaltet worden. Es ist zu spüren, wie die Stadt ihre Vergangenheit atmet. |
° Minamata today A social clash orrured together with the search for the causes of the desease. The Chisso company was the largest company for the production of plastics and fertilizers and had denied their responsibility for human*s sorrows and death for a long time. In Minamata there is no representation of Minamata desease in daily life. Lawson and Pachinko-Palaces can be found there like in other Japanese towns. The difference is, that Minamata calls itself an ecological town, the refuse is separated in more than 20 categories. The former contaminated bay was reformed into an leisure area with a huge variety of bamboo. |
